Since I sold the Versa, the Sentra has been my daily driver. I am currently first in championship points for the 2011 NER Rallycross Championship in Stock FWD, two more events this season so let's see if I can hang onto that lead!
The Sentra should hold up just fine for the final races, and at that point I am hoping to sell it to another person who wants to start Rallycross, or even sell it to a 24 Hours of LeMons team for $500 ($300 if they will let me be a driver for an event!). I just want the car to stay in motorsport; to be honest I would rather see it get smashed up at a LeMons race than sell it to some random person who will scrap it the morning it fails to start.
Know any LeMons teams looking for a car?
Here's the new project, which will also become my daily driver starting in 2012. 1992 Subaru Legacy AWD, 5-speed of course. Look at that clean interior! Owned by the same couple for the past fifteen years, they sold it to me because the clutch is going and they just got a brand new Legacy. I drove it 100+ miles back home without incident, drives fantastic as long as you baby the clutch. The tan interior brings back great memories of my dad's '92 Legacy AWD, owned way back before I even had my driver's license.
This fall I will be doing a bunch of work to it because it's going to become my permanent daily driver starting in 2012. Motor's coming out, and in is going a new clutch, timing belt/water pump, gaskets, seals, along with all the belt-driven accessories. Doing some rust repair over the weekend to remedy the typical quarter-panel rust. After all is said and done, it will be time to start the 2012 NER Rallycross Championship in Stock AWD! Really looking forward to a much larger class even if, in the beginning, I don't do as well as I have been this year. Also happy about becoming a Subaru owner once again!
This is my rudimentary idea of how I am going to have the "livery" laid out on the car.
